As the first month of the New Year has come to a close, my friend and I have been really working hard to try and hit our health goals.

This is especially true if you are working for Chungdahm and are covered under the national health insurance plan.

It seems only fitting that the ankle I broke in Africa would finally find comfort in my next home away from home – Korea. The last time I was abroad I comically fractured my right ankle during my medical orientation (at a hospital!) in Kenya. The break made for quite an experience and a tearful/choked-up call home to my mom after a panicked evening in a Nairobi hospital. I was put in a cast and advised by my parents to seek surgical consultation when I returned to the states 5 months later in December.
